The domain is confronted with increasingly complex variants, making it more challenging to generate proper variant descriptions. We present a graph based on all minimal alignments that is a complete representation of a variant and we provide three complementary extraction methods to derive variant descriptions from this graph. Our experiments show that our method in comparison with dbSNP results in identical HGVS descriptions for simple variants and more meaningful descriptions for complex variants.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.18472v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.18472v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-graph-based-approach-to-variant-extraction","repo_url":"https://github.com/mutalyzer/algebra","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
